THE PROGRESS OF orR RAcE.
Oct. 25th.

When we look back over our past
lives and think of the many disadvan-
tages we had to encounter, we feel
proud that we can boast of some good
deed Of the present. If not won by
you, some one Of the race merited it
and thus we should feel proud. We
admit, much of our precious time has
been wasted in idleness, where we
might have made another step towards
progress we were some what timid and
thus fell back, consequently many Of
us had to make two steps to others
one. But as we cannot recall the
past to make amends now, the present
is ours, and the future is our inher-
itance.
The progress is the more gratify-
ing when it is remembered under
what circumstances it has been achicv-
ed. Through industry and economy
many Of our fathers have yearly added
to their savings, and thus come into
possession of homes and other property.
Many today have large acres of land
from which they cultivated thereby
realizing handsome profits. Our prog
rcss in education of which VIC were
once claimed to be incapable, is most
marked and under the limited facili-
ties Of the past, far exceeded the cxpec-
tations of our friends. just think of
the great progress being made by our
young women, we find many Of them
skilled musicians, fine painters and in
short many of them can compete with
our white friends. Every year we see
the fruits Of our progress Then let
us, each and all, put our shoulders to
the wheel, work hard, work earnestly
50 that we may in the future gain that
high mark Of progresiyeness. For
the fields Of labor are open to our view.
and we the workers in it. On every
side we hear the reapers. Some are
binding the rustling sheagcs, and some
are winnowing the beautiful grain.

FAYETTEVILLE NOTES.

Personal Mention and Items Of Interest.
The general topic of the day is the
Industrial Fair, ''to be held in Raj
eigh, the beautiful City of Cakes. "
Mrs. J. B. Tyson spent a few days
with her mother and friends, last week.
She is much improved in health and
shows that Carthage is the place to
restore ones health.
The Gospel Temperance meeting
was held in the NJ. E. Church last
Sunday evening. The attendance was
very large and also the music and
different speeches were good. These
meetings are becoming more intcres-
ting every month.
The Stewardesses of the A. M. Il.
Zion Church will hold a festival in
Farmers Hall Monday and Tuesday
nights of this week for the benefit of
the pastor in charge.
The new hotel is nearly completed
and it is thought it will be in readi-
ness during the Fair.
A new restaurant has been opened
on Gillespie street by Mr.. g. II. Hen
derson and Young Vincent. First
class meals served at all hours during
the day and night. Strangers visit
ing the town, would do well to give
them call.
Mr.. T. G. Whitfield our popular
barber in erecting two fine buildings
one on franklin street and the other
on Hay street. The latter we hear is
to be fine hotel. If true we certain
ly commend the gentleman for the
good work. Every day We see the
need of good boarding house here
for strangers. Mr.. Whitfield is man
of progressive standing and the owner
of five or six handsome dwelling
houses.
The future prospect of the newsy
little " Messenger" is bright in our
town now, the people seem to be
aroused from their drowsiness and in
tend to keep up with the news from
all parts of the State. This can be
done only through and by reading the
messenger"
A memorial meeting will pc held at
Evans Chapel next Monday night
week in memory of John 3. Finch the
great Temperance Hero"
Editor w. B. Hunter, of the Rail
cigh Outlook was in town a few weeks
ago, he is travelling in the interest of
his paper.
Prof. Il. e. Smith, preached
very interesting sermon last Sunday
night week at Evans Chapel. The
theme of his discourse was Samson
and the Philistines.
Mr.. jackson Graham our we'll
known and aged tailor is quite sick.

NOTES FROM MONROE.

As there is nothing ever sent to
your excellent paper from this remote
corner Of the world; perhaps it will
not be amiss TO let our fellow creatures
know that VIC exist. and arc cnlight-
ened enough to read and appreciate
the MESSENGER. We owe it thanks
for keeping us informed Of what peo-
pie VIC know out in the busy world
are doing. We are not at all newsy
Charlotte messenger. [volume] (Charlotte, Mecklenburg Co., N.C.) 1882-18??, 1887-10-29

Just now, but we feel very much de-
serted, our young men and young
ladies are all leaving us to attend
school. The sober, solemn peda-
gogues whom we were so accustomed
to see during the summer, have de-
parted, glad to leave a place where
they are expected to thrive on black
bread. and to be entertained by moon
light concerts given oft in the Silly
night by the frogs and screech owls.
Well we hope that they will favor us
with another visit next summer, as
this out-of- the-way corner will present
the same attraction, which is not its
girls, its society or even its campmeet-
ings. The ladies of the Presbyterian
Church held a popular election, :"
recently, for the benefit of the Church.
The election was not carried on as
politicians of the sterner sex usually
do such things. We hope We do not
betray any ignoranc when we say it

all the voting, each one of the eigh-
teen fair candidates found opportunity
for testing the depth of her devoted's
affection. However quite handsome
sum was realized by the scheme.
We have been shocked and saddened
at hearing of the murder of one OF
our young men; for several months
he had been working in South Caro-
lima, and in a difficulty with white
man, he was shot three times, brutally
beaten after being shot, and then
lodged in Jail. Such are the state
ments that have reached us, if they
are true, it is horrible to think of.
The young man was steady and in
dustrious, but exceedingly high spirit
ed; he would brook no interference
nor insult from any person. Many
say he should have been more humble
in South Carolina, as it is known to
be so relentless in its prosecutions o.
the negro, but is it not time for us tc
develop some backbone? AS race
we do not apper to have one steer
load of manhood. We take such
things and as long as we take them
they will come as matter of course.
| believe though, that one day a just
God will avengc his people. The
blood shed daily by cold blooded MUIR
der, by lynching and by mastered

blood, and some day there must come
a fearful reckoning. For
Though the mills of the God grinds slowly
Yet they grind exceeding small,
Though with patience he stands waiting,
With exactness grinds He all.
Yours for progress,
NJ. L. CHREsFlELD.
